Hey, I had my mirena inserted back in Aug. I was excited cause it seemed like every time me and my husband held hands i was pregnant. I have 3 wonderful kids n being 26 years old 3 is enough. I have also been experiencing side effects. I always feel like i am daydreaming, my head feels funny, I have constant pain in my adnom, and around my belly button. My husband can feel it as well. I like the fact of not worrying about being pregnant for 5yrs, but is it worth being moody always feeling like crap. I am going to get it out and maybe go with the depo shot. I didn't gain weight with it and I just feel like the mirena has moved and its uncomfortable. I will also be looking at other options as well. If any one know other very effective options please post Thank you.....
